The baby was doing okay, and Lina was relieved. However, when she walked out of the ultrasound room, she saw a woman standing in the VIP lounge outside.
She was obviously talking to Hadwin Stephenson.
As soon as Hadwin Stephenson saw Lina come out, he went over and asked, “Are you done with the check-up?
What did the doctor say?”
“Everything’s alright,” said Lina. Then, her eyes fell on the unfamiliar woman.
It was a beautiful woman with delicate makeup and high-end clothes. She was fashionable and looked just like the socialites in tMason Swansonty.
What she said also confirmed Lina’s speculation.
“You must be Lina. I’m Monica Keller from the Tang family and also the CEO of Keller Group.” Although she was introducing herself, her eyes that were fixed on Lina showed disdain.
She seemed to be filled with a sense of superiority. It was as if Lina was only an ant by her feet.
Her gaze made Lina uncomfortable. “I’m Lina, the woman Hadwin loves most and also the mother of the Stephenson family’s future heir.”
Lina snapped back.
Disgust flickered in Monica Keller’s eyes. She did not expect Lina to say such a thing so shamelessly. She wondered how an ordinary woman with no family background like Lina could make Hadwin Stephenson announce the Stephenson family’s future heir in public.
“I’d like to talk to Hadwin alone. Please don’t disturb us,”
Monica Keller said to Lina with her sense of superiority.
Before Lina could speak, Hadwin Stephenson spoke first, “I don’t think I have anything to say to you, Miss Keller.”
With that said, he prepared to leave with Lina.
Monica Keller’s voice suddenly rang out. “Hadwin Stephenson, you’re going to lose tomorrow’s board meeting if you leave now!”
Hadwin Stephenson stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at her coldly. “It seems that the Tang family is involved too. I wonder how many shares you have?”
“A lot.” Monica Keller raised her chin. “I can forget about what happened. If you get together with me, I can tell my dad to keep your position in Stephenson Group.”
Hadwin Stephenson pursed his thin lips slightly as his eyes darkened. Lina, who was standing next to him, suddenly stiffened as she recalled what had happened that year.
Katherine Jackson had also used these methods to force Hadwin. However, she now knew that Hadwin made that choice back then not to get power and status but to save her life.
Similarly, Monica Keller was forcing Hadwin to choose again.
If… If Hadwin did choose Monica Keller, she figured she would not blame him. After all, Hadwin had done a lot for her.
“Looks like you’re trying to be the next Katherine Jackson.” Hadwin Stephenson suddenly smiled. “Have you forgotten. what happened to Katherine Jackson?”
Monica Keller’s expression instantly changed, and she said, “I’m not as stupid as she. She lost the entire Jackson family.”
“You’re even stupider than she is,” Hadwin Stephenson said lazily as his eyes grew increasingly colder. “Since the Tang family has the nerve to conspire against me, you should be prepared to fall. Perhaps this day next year, the Tang family will no longer exist in J City!”
“You…” Monica Keller’s expression instantly contorted.
“Hadwin Stephenson, you’re too conceited.”
Hadwin Stephenson ignored her and left with Lina.
Once they got into the car, Lina asked Hadwin Stephenson, “Are you confident about tomorrow?”
He looked at her and said. “We won’t know who wins until the She bit her lip slightly. “Then… what happens if you lose?”
“I’ll be kicked out of the board and have to leave the company. My shares will be diluted, and I might end up with no money and no power. When that happens…”
“When that happens, I’ll take care of you!” Lina said quickly. However, she realized she had spoken foolishly as soon as she finished speaking. Even if Hadwin Stephenson lost tomorrow, his assets far exceeded those of ordinary people. He would not need her to take care of him.
“You’ll take care of me?” He raised his eyebrow and laughed.
Her face went red. “I… I’m joking!”
He said, “I don’t think it’s a joke. If I lose tomorrow, then you’ll take care of me. Of course, if I win tomorrow, then I’ll take care of you. I’ll take care of you for a lifetime!”
His deep dark eyes were full of adoration. Lina looked at Hadwin Stephenson and could not help smiling. The worry in her heart seemed to gradually disperse. “Okay! Then I hope you’ll take care of me for a lifetime!”
Stephenson Group’s board meeting naturally attracted a lot of attention.
At the board meeting, Emily Flowers and the Tang family joined hands as expected. Combined with several major shareholders and the shares they had, their portion was already five percent higher than Hadwin Stephenson’s. Hadwin Stephenson would lose if there were no unexpected surprises.
Monica Keller said smugly to Hadwin Stephenson, “I told you you would lose today. You had the best chance yesterday, but you didn’t grasp it.””
– “Really?” Hadwin Stephenson smiled. “I think the Tang family had better stay neutral.”
“What’s the matter? Are you pleading for mercy?” Monica Keller said arrogantly. She thought to herself, ‘So what if he’s stubborn? Isn’t he still pleading for mercy in the end?’
Hadwin Stephenson said nothing but turned on the LCD
screen in the meeting room. He had the secretary connect it to the computer. A piece of breaking news about the Tang family immediately caught everyone’s attention.
The Tang family was found to be cutting corners in a property development project. Relevant authorities in tMason Swansonty had decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.
This property development project was the Tang family’s key project in the past two years. Since tMason Swansonty authorities wanted a thorough investigation, it was necessary to stop work.
Since they had to stop working, the pre-sale a month later would also have to be suspended.
Even after the rectification, it was unclear how sales would fare.
